76X - 79X Linking Entry Fields (Variable Data Field)
Definition and scope:
The linking entry fields contain information that identifies other bibliographic items. Each of the linking entry fields specifies a different bibliographic relationship between the target item described by the record and a related item . These relationships fall into three classes:
related items that assist the user in continuing to search but are not physically required to obtain the target item (e.g., former entries for serials, translations of the target item);
related items that have to be obtained physically in order to use the target item (e.g., the host item
for a component part
: a journal issue containing a specific article);
related items that are constituent units
of a larger whole (e.g., the individual photographs contained in a visual material collection).
The linking entry fields are designed to generate a note in the record in which they appear. They can also provide machine linkage between the bibliographic record for the target item and the bibliographic record for a related item, if the related item is covered by a separate record.
